Georgia is a good sport and helped me out on the toothbrush photos. I was starting to feel sad that #photoadayJuly was over but Photoaday is not over! I’m very happy to find out that Fat Mum Slim is doing photoday for August too!

 

I can already tell it’s going to be just as much fun. If you haven’t decided to join tomorrow’s a great time to start click here for instructions on how to play.

 

I’ve almost grown used to the crazy Kudzu that grows along the roadsides of Tennessee but every once in a while I stare at it like I did the very first time I saw it.

The boys, I use that term loosely there’s a girl who drives one of the haul trucks on that job, well I think it’s a girl anyway could be a guy with very pretty long blond hair for all I know. Anyway THEY  are still working on out on Highway 30 it’s looking better and better every day.

Please don’t ask me about the thing on top of that car, I have no idea what it is supposed to be.

 

Pear smoothie colored with beet juice. Lucy’s water bowl but for today I’m calling it a cup. Oh and the bug that fell into my smoothie while I was trying to take a picture of it.

 

From the dollar store, the real dollar store where everything is a dollar.

 

 

As Georgia always says: “Brush only the ones you want to keep”.

Georgia is really happy to have a new ball. Somehow she lost her others. Well it may, just may have had something to do with that yappy dog next door that comes out to bark every once in a while. she may have been on her way to fetch the ball but then stopped mid fetch to run down the hill to bark back to Yappy dog. And by the time They were done exchanging barks… the ball, What ball? Yeah Where’s the ball?

 

If you’d throw it for her she’d really like that too.

 

And again.

On another note, I’m disappointed that Old Navy seems to had discontinued my favorite 2.50 flip flops. I don’t know what I’ll do when these wear out.

 

But if that’s my biggest concern in life I guess things aren’t all that bad.

#Photoadayjuly is turning into more and more fun.

 

I found out that July is national ice cream month and the 21st is national ice cream day though there are conflicting reports that it might be the 15th but that’s ok you really have the whole month to celebrate.

 

So we had to celebrate appropriately.

 

 

 

 

Trying to find a stranger proved harder than I thought.

 

I first thought this guy’d do but he knew me! I didn’t remember him. shh, don’t tell him. There I was thinkin’ now all I’ve got to do is ask if it’s ok to take the picture, when he looked up and said hi and didn’t we just do tires for you, you have the blue truck right?

So back to square one, who do I not know?

 

Then I got talking to Addie and even though we’d never met before, we got talking and became friends right there. There was just no way she could count as a stranger.

After a bit I asked her if I could take a picture of her doll, the baby doll on the floor. She picked her up for me to see. I asked what her name was. She looked concerned, then said I don’t know just a minute l’ll ask my dad.

Dad Looked over and said I don’t know, maybe you never named her yet.

I suggested naming her Maya since that was the name of the last baby doll I’d met. She was going to give it some thought first I’m sure.

 

I asked Dad if it was ok to take pictures of his daughter and doll and explained that I needed a photo of a stranger and this doll seemed to be the perfect stranger since none of us knew her name!

I am just having too much fun with #photoadayjuly! Who would’ve known two slices of vegetarian sausage would have anything to do with eyes?

 

It started out innocently enough, a bunch of vegetables on the table to be made into a pizza. But then there was that nagging feeling that I still hadn’t taken any picture of any eyes.

I laid a few things out on the cutting board and before I knew it I had a face with eyes! I though that was as far as it was going to go

 

So I got the dough ready.

 

I was so busy laughing at my Mr vegetable head that I forgot to grease the pan before putting the dough on.

 

It turned out to be just fine with the oil that ran off from the pesto when it baked.

 

On the left I have chicken, roasted red peppers, green bell peppers and cracked pepper cheese. On the right I have carrots, some kind of vegetarian sausage, I don’t know, it was a deal.And cracked pepper cheese.

 

Then I realized that the face wanted to be on the pizza! So I put on a layer of shredded mozzarella as sort of a foundation or concealer or something. The sausage slices were such perfect almond shaped eyes. A thin slice of zucchini made the most adorable eyelashes. A bent green bean added just the right touch for a nose.

 

More zucchini sliced with a vegetable peeler for the curled moustache and curly hair. Roasted red pepper made his stunning lips and his two bucky front teeth made from cucumbers were solely inspired by Bubba J!

 

I added a little more mozzarella and off to the oven he went.

 

Bake until the dough is lightly browned on the bottom and the cheese is bubbly. 

 

Serve warm or eat later when you can stop laughing.

 

With pizza and vegetables all things are possible!
